Private Sydney Half Day Tour - Before reviewing the tour, we must address the excellent communication we received in planning our Sydney tours with Julia and Scott. The knowledge they shared with us was always timely and incredibly valuable in helping us determine how we wanted to spend our limited time in Sydney. Their flexibility in constructing a customized and personalized experience for us was greatly appreciated.
On to the tour! Scott arrived on time and eager to start the day. We started our day with some city sightseeing and landed at our first stop near Mrs. Macquarie's Chair. The views back to the Opera House and Bridge are unbelievable. We were fortunate to have great weather and clear skies for the tour, which helped our inferior photo-taking capabilities.
We then moved on to check out Bondi Beach, but on the way, Scott showed us some fantastic places with wonderful backstories, i.e., Harry's Cafe De Wheels. We also worked our way through some of the awesome neighborhoods of Sydney before landing at Bronte Beach for a brief leisurely coastline walk. From there, we went to our final morning stop, Bondi Beach, soaking in the incredible views. We booked a Sydney Opera House tour that afternoon, so Scott dropped us off near the facility. Julia provided us with several dining recommendations for lunch (all of which were GREAT).
We can not stress enough what a wonderful tour this is for anyone seeking to get some city highlights or a specific set of places they want to see. We are confident you will receive superb communication/attention and have a remarkable experience.

Best of Sydney if Short on Time! - Our private half-day tour with Sydney Private Day Tours is something you need to do if you are short on time! We had just come back from our cruise to NZ and only had a half-day to see some of city's most famous (and not so famous) highlights. Our guide Scott, was very professional, accommodating, informative and an all around nice guy! He tailored our experience to the things that were important to us, and also shared some sites that only locals would know. It was the perfect end to our trip. I would highly recommend Scott and Sydney Private Day Tours to anyone!

Fantastic Time With Julia - We spent a fantastic afternoon with Julia. We did a half day tour of Sydney and enjoyed every minute. Julia was born in Sydney and traces her ancestors back to the early days of Sydney’s prison colonies. As such she has wonderful stories about the history of Sydney. She took us all around the city and some of the major beaches. I feel like we have a new friend now in Sydney and would definitely recommend her and her company to anyone looking for a very personal and professional private tour.

Sydney half day private tour was amazing! - If you would like to learn about the history as well as see the beautiful city of Sydney this is the perfect tour! Julia picked us up from our hotel and treated us like family as she introduced us to her home town. We had a tour the previous day with a group and Julia was happy to organize our time together based on the small amount of the city we had already seen. I wish we would have scheduled a full tour with her. We hope to return to Australia soon and will definitely contact this company for another private tour!

Great Private Tour of Sydney - We really enjoyed this private half day tour of Sydney! He picked us up at our hotel, drove us to all the highlights, including Bondi Beach which was outside the city. He let us linger wherever we wanted and took fabulous photos of us!

Falling in Love With Sydney - We began our adventure in Sydney with Scott. He picked us up at our hotel right on time. Scott was quite knowledgeable and entertaining throughout the afternoon. We finished our tour at a local, historic pub that we discovered might be haunted. We enjoyed seeing Sydney through Scott’s eyes and definitely recommend his tour! We have fallen in love with this city. Thanks, Scott! What a fun afternoon.

Outstanding - Scott was excellent. He was on time, exactly where he said he would be. We talked the whole time. He took us to all of the important sites and gave us a lot of history. We will definitely use them again when we come back. Highly recommended.

Sydney 1/2 Day Tour Was Perfect for Our Schedule! - My friend and I had a very short time in Sydney, Australia and we wanted to make the most of it. We booked the 1/2 day Sydney tour on the day we were leaving so that we could check out of the hotel and see the sights before flying out.
Scott gave us the perfect blend of tourist spots, locals’ hangouts and beautiful neighborhoods! Not only did we have a great tour guide but he took photos for us too!
Scott was kind enough to tweak the schedule to accommodate our needs and made certain we arrived at the airport on time!
Wendy and I are so happy with the tour and we look forward to returning some day!

Visited outlying towns - Nicholas was very pleasant but it was pouring rain, so that kinda put a quirk in the works. He was about 25 minutes late and his kid had spilt popcorn all over the inside of his car. I had previously seen most of the sites when I’d been in Sydney a couple of weeks prior, so didn’t want to walk in the rain and see stuff I had already seen.
He did take me up to Bondi and Manly, which was nice, and I got to see the bay and Opera House from a different vantage point.
He did offer to take me where I needed to go after the tour, but the weather wasn’t looking too good.
Would have been better if the weather had been nice.
I only did it as I thought there may have been more places to see which weren’t on the regular tourist route, or I would have cancelled.
After reading prior reviews, it appears a great way to “hit the high spots”, but it would have been nice if they had a back up tour when you’ve already been to the gardens, chair and Opera House.
